The 2014 Eat+Drink Supper Club 

A Curated Dining Experience

I can’t believe it’s been an entire year already and here we are with our second Eat+Drink Supper Club season - yes, that’s what I’m calling summer now, the supper club season.  We had so much fun last year with our chefs that we’re bringing a few of them back.  We’ve also paired many of them with amazing winemakers and other local culinary entrepreneurs to completely blow your minds.  I can’t wait to spend the summer eating and drinking with you!  

Our first dinner is April 26th with Chef Clark Staub of Full of Life Flatbread and J.Brix Wines (the full summer list is below). Chef Staub’s menu is to die for and the husband+wife team of Emily & Jody Brix Towe will regale you with why their wines are about to become your new best friends.

Wine: 2012 j. brix “The Augur” Riesling, Kick On Ranch Vineyard

Shopping for this Weekend’s Sushi Dinners!

Yes, you read that correctly.  We had so much demand for Chef Eric Brown’s sushi dinner this Saturday, May 4th, that we added a “preview” dinner on Friday night for 12 people.  We’ve been out shopping for Eric so he has less to do on Thursday and Friday - he’s flying in Wednesday night!  We’re super excited about this opportunity.  As Eric says “Miso excited!”.  :)

Eater has a little map of their favorite 17 sushi restaurants.  I thought it was apropos considering that the next Eat+Drink Supper Club is SUSHI.  Keep your schedule clear for Chef Eric Brown on May 4th - if you’re on the Eat+Drink Supper Club mailing list, the invite will go out early next week!

Supper Clubs

Great little article and slideshow about the contents of Wolvesmouth owner/chef Craig Thornton’s kitchen.  Wolvesmouth was the inspiration for the Eat+Drink Supper Club.  Wolvesmouth is an underground supper club housed in Thornton’s downtown loft with a mile long wait list.  Eat+Drink is on the west side, in a lovely inviting environment (our house) and provides an opportunity to meet like-minded foodies that you’ll want to chat with over and over again.  Come join us!

Flynn McGarry’s Winter Menu

I know I haven’t written my review yet of this culinary wunderkind but here is a little video his team created from that event.  If you get really close to the screen, squint your eyes just so and cock your head to one side, you might be able to see me sitting along the window.  Good luck.
